This week's big topic was obviously the Cardinals acquisition of the All-Star 3rd baseman from Colorado, the Cubs few moves, and the Brewers signing of Kolten Wong. Things escalated quickly, though, as news broke that Dexter Fowler had been shipped to Anaheim to join his former manager. Finally, Ron, Pete, and Elliott discussed how all of their shit-talk backfired regarding the NL Central.

Well, it happened. The Cardinals did it! We didn't think anything significant was going to occur for 2021, but they had us fooled. @Dylan_Dinger joined Ron late on a Friday night to discuss this amazing day!

The first livestream of 2021 leads off with great news for Andrew Knizner: Adam Wainright is back, which surely means that Yadier Molina is not far behind! Pete spreads Cubs spending conspiracies, and then the guys go deep on the rest of the NL Central. (LOL, not really: The Brewers have a new sign, Pittsburgh has lost the will to live, and the Reds could be moving even more arms.) Listen to the end for super-hot technology and Star Wars talk!

Super Producer Geno scored a big one this week, as former Cubs and current Atlanta Braves broadcaster joined Ron, Pete, and Elliott (late, as usual!) for a wide-ranging interview covering his broadcasting career, his time with the Cubs, and his thoughts on the game of baseball. Plus, Chip explains why he made the right move to not become the voice of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1995.

It's a new year, but with the same old complaints from the Team of Rivals Podcast. Did the Cubs get fleeced when they traded Yu Darvish to the Padres last week? And how bad does that trade look in light of the Mets' deal for Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco? As always, you can count on the Show Interruptor to make an appearance for his weekly segment, where he discusses Yu Darvish, Francisco Lindor, and Yadi Molina.

Ron is #48 on the list of "Top Cards on Twitter", according to Cards Conclave, and we couldn't be happier to have on our special guest, Elliott Duy, to celebrate. The guys cover a relatively quiet Rule 5 draft, the Winter (Zoom) Meetings, and the announcement of MILB affiliations for the 2021 season. Finally, Pete breaks out the popcorn to enjoy Yadi's insult at the Cardinals' contract offer.

On the fourth anniversary of our podcast launch, Ron and Pete are joined by "special guest" Elliott Duy to discuss corporate HR policies and the most significant contract tender deadline in recent memory. While there were a number of interesting names on this year's list, a lot of talk centered around one man: The Last Jedi, Kyle Schwarber. What does this move mean for the Cubs, and might he end up five hours south in 2021?
Also, in anticipation of the start of Season 5 of ToR, Ron announces our move to a new home at Gateway City Sports.

Theo Epstein resigns. Disney airs one of the best episodes of The Mandalorian yet. But it was all overshadowed by the unfortunate, yet inevitable, news that Ron and Pete fired Elliott. It was a move that was a long time coming, and it's unfortunate that it had to happen this way.
After the obligatory discussion of Theo Epstein's legacy with the Chicago Cubs and what comes next, Scott Nuttall joins The Founders to discuss "The Heiress".

Ron and Elliott carried the show this week with Pete DFA'd. They touch on the World Series; Rob Manfred's desire to keep some of the changes made in 2020; early signals from the Cardinals that spending may be light; Waino, Yadi, Wong, and what will the Cubs do with Kris Bryant? And of course, they can't avoid the fact that The Mandalorian Season 2 debuts tomorrow!

Returning from a three-week, technology-induced hiatus, Ron, Pete, and Elliott gather to review the end of the 2020 season and to speculate on what the future holds for both the Cubs and the Cards. Will they stand pat, or will we see major overhauls prior to the 2021 season? Also, in anticipation of Season 2 of The Mandalorian, Pete plugs The Lightsaber Collection, an impressive new Star Wars book that looks into the history and design of the lightsaber.

With one, dare we say cryptic, Instagram post; we're left wondering if the Cardinals aren't bringing back their Gold Glove second baseman. Tis the season to speculate and panic we guess. @Dylan_Dinger joins Ron again this week as they sort this out.
@Dylan_Dinger joined Ron today to assess the Cardinals Playoff performance, 2020 regular season and what they would like to see happen for 2021.
Ron, Pete, and Elliott logged on this week long enough to livestream the sixth through eighth innings of Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series between the Cards and Padres and to watch Fernando Tatis, Jr. and Wil Myers own the Cardinals.

"Stay positive" has a whole new ring to it these days! Dan Curry (@DanCCC) and John Pearman (@JP_CCC) of the Cubs Cards Cast (@CubsCardsCast) joined Ron and Pete to discuss the upcoming Cubs-Cardinals series, but then the Cards went and screwed it up.
As the news of another positive COVID test in the Cardinals clubhouse breaks, the guys discuss the possibility that the 2020 season may be over and what little they have seen so far from the Cubs and Cardinals.

Pete, Ron & Elliott discussed real baseball this week! The Cubs are off to a good start with some stress concerning their bullpen. The Cardinals offense isn't looking good at all, and Ron shared his thoughts on that and some of the dumb shit that fans say social media.
